    They always silence the haters.

    • maurice May 11, 2015

      So they now using Freddie Gray to promote that TIDAL service?
      Chile, even Keyshia Cole wouldn’t stoop this low.

      • The Legend May 11, 2015

        Maurice….this shows how u don’t know jackshiit. Queen Bey & JayZ also met with Trayvon Martin parents. Tidal didnt exist then,so why did they meet with them?#ShutthefawkUp&Sitthefawkdown

    • Carry On May 11, 2015

      Yt people don’t care; they still stay rac!st. Get a Clue!!!!!!!!!!

    • Repost May 11, 2015

      Get your mind right. Some people need to do their work on the black celebrity activists. Taking picture with grieving families is not activism no matter if it’s Beyonce, Jay z, Keys or anybody else. Ossie, Ruby Dee, Paul Roberson, Harry Belafonte, Aretha Franklin ( sang to bring people to MLK speaking engagements) Muhammad Ali, Miriam Makeba, Nina Simone and many more took REAL stands and used their celebrity to help the people who helped them become who they are. They had far less financial security than many celebs have today. Stop raising photo ops to the level of these people.

      • Carry On May 11, 2015

        It won’t let me upvote you but it’s a distraction. So, God got you with this…….Speaker

    • Pat May 11, 2015

      They ran out of publicity stunts, lmfaooo!

      • BEY>RIH May 11, 2015

        Beyonce and jayz can go to mcdonalds and the media will make it a popular story. A certain celeb has to jump from her abuser to a light skin feminine rapper, or change her hair color every 5 minute era to make media coverage… ????????????

    The Carters= Philanthropist.

    • Music Lover~ May 11, 2015

      Definitely!

    • Katycat May 11, 2015

      and Nicki is the face of abortion

      • Kelly May 11, 2015

        And Katy is the face of basic b****’s.

      • Barb-wire May 11, 2015

        She proved she can have kids, when will Kunty? Would Kunty be able to have kids ever? The closest she’ll ever get a kid will be those disney bops she keeps feeding to toddlers.

  3. Centurion May 11, 2015

    That was nice of Jay Z. He’s such a good person.

    • hivehighness May 11, 2015

      You are such a bitter b**** do you spend as much time supporting your fave as you do being perched in every Beyonce related post spewing negativity? Seriously its got to be tiring to hate as much as you do or maybe you do it for laughs either way get a life

    • Barb Wire May 11, 2015

      Well if it isn’t the potbellied, blick, no walls, thunder thighs, ębola carrier, parasite filled, fritos eating, krack ho, orangutan b***** named @navysoldierx. You didn’t even spend mother’s day with the fellow villagers because you were busying attacking foreigners on the Pretoria coast and eating mice. You had us all fooled that you were studying at some college on the Jo’Burg, when really you’re a shack-dwelling cretin that works at a banana market and does an online engineering course. I hope the $25 I donate to unicef a month will cure your mother of dysentery, so the next mother’s day she won’t have to spend the whole day in the bushes while your stoning the immigrants. Keep trying to blend in with the Americans, one day everyone will find the type of person you are.

      • Barb Wire May 11, 2015

        Oh no @navysoldierx looks like I gave away your twitter handle, you should lock it again. I would hate to drag you like I did @Cake_Like_Lady_Gaga 😆 Oh no, I just gave away it’s handle too 😆

  4. jen May 11, 2015

    So the only time this blog covers the tragedy is when Beyonce takes a f****** picture? Disgusting.

    • #JACKIE May 11, 2015

  6. XXX May 11, 2015

    Nice! Anyone hating needs a seat.

  7. kingbeybitch May 11, 2015

    You people need to understand that Bey and Jay are millionaires they don’t need to do any of this s***. So y’all need to have several seats

  8. Unbiased May 11, 2015

    This is great! I know their was a silent donation given..ppl always talk behind a computer screen but what are u doing to help? Nada, so shut up..

  9. kingbeybitch May 11, 2015

    Bey and Jay in Baltimore awww y’all faves didn’t even go so don’t come for jay and Bey.

    • Centurion May 11, 2015

      Ah… Make-up. Making women look much much younger since the 16th century. ????

      • Kelly May 11, 2015

        Psychiatric wards,..releasing patients to early since 700Ad. Go take your meds b****.

  10. Beygency May 11, 2015

    And they say King Bey is selfish and self absorbed guess this will finally shut the haters up!

  11. pat May 11, 2015

    Trying to get people to not see them only only as money grubbers to help tidal or nah?? Ijs

    • trellbeylike May 11, 2015

      Lol @ this failed comment. They marched for Trayvon b4 tidal.

      • pat May 11, 2015

        Your point?

      • Carry On May 11, 2015

        OMG!! What are you like 12?? He said, “his presence is charity”. In which you all ate it up. which changed nothing. It’s like talking to a brick wall.

        We are doomed!!!!!!!!!!

  12. trellbeylike May 11, 2015

    They also marched for Trayvon Martin with his Parents. And met with Mike Brown’s mother. And they didnt go to the press for it either. Straight from the heart.

  13. Centurion May 11, 2015

    Ah… Make-up. Making women look much much younger since the 16th century. ????

    • Kelly May 11, 2015

      Smh..You are so disturbing.

      • Centurion May 11, 2015

        Huh? What? The only thing that’s disturbing is Beyoncé. She looks creepy in that pic. Lol

  14. Ms Beykim wants Bieber,One Direction,Miley Cyrus,Gaga and Beyonce May 11, 2015

    I’m sorry and I know this will offend some people but I will preach my gutt.we glorify the likes of thugvon martin,Sean thug,thug brown and now this because they were black men who were ‘killed’ by white police for being black.(insert sarcasm) I’m sick of this.why can’t you raised well behaved men instead of criminals and see if they get killed.I’m sick of blackd being racist towards white and it has to stop.tamir rice holding a gun to be a future gang member.want less deaths….STOP RAISING BARBARIC LAW BREAKING CRIPS AND BLOODS GANGSTERS AND RAISE GOOD MEN

  15. S****** Blonde May 11, 2015

    Oh so nice of the Carters to remember from time to time that they’re African Americans too, especially Beyoncé, these photos look like a family portrait, she might realize her reality.

    • Barb-wire May 11, 2015

      So are you going to sit there and pretend to care what happens to Beyonce or African americans?

    • Kelly May 11, 2015

      On a serious note, stfu. In the meantime though, do us and your family a favor. Follow the path of your fav “Coke Cobain” right to the end, literally. Thanks

  16. Krista May 11, 2015

    LOL yall already know if Bey and Jay were a no show people would ssume they don’t care about the black community, now they’ve shown their support numerous times they become opportunists (which makes no sense considering they don’t need to prove themselves anymore) The people who need to look in the mirror are the ones criticizing positive moves no matter what.

    • Krista May 11, 2015

      assume*

  17. No favs, just here for the music May 11, 2015

    They are always out here supporting while other celebs just talk about it, and some don’t even care. I have so much respect for these 2.

    RIP Freddie Gray

  18. SMH May 11, 2015

    Fool yourselves all you want, bee stans. This is nothing more than a PR move. Freddie Gray was murdered a month ago. Quite convenient for these two to go and meet his family the same week that Jay Z is having his concert broadcast on Tidal. But of course their fans don’t have the intelligence to see what’s going on here.

    • kingbeybitch May 11, 2015

      So what! A month ago Baltimore was a mess I don’t blame them for not going then. And that Tidal concert money is going to Baltimore so what the f*** is the problem? At least they’re doing something what the f*** are you doing? Your fave ain’t doing s*** all she did was put that crying emoji on her page sit down

    • XXX May 11, 2015

      You find fault in literally everything the Carters do. Have you thought about thinking objectivley for once?

  19. fatusankoh May 11, 2015

    You go bey and jay they are always helping and very giving stars but haters always attacking them but we know they have done so much good in the world keep the good work bey and jay

  20. kingbeybitch May 11, 2015

    They also spent time with Mike Browns Mom

    • Carry On May 11, 2015

      They have no choice……Reality. Everyone has no time for it and we all are trying to live our lives while others try to tear it down. It’s like a wake up call for kids who are staying with their parents and feed into the lifestyle of fame, money and power. Most of them don’t even want to go to school. They think it’s a easy way out someway; so they talk to people like their stup!d. The media is like the dev!l distracting what’s going on in the real world. I love God he is no l!e, the truth should come to light. Have a good day people.

  21. WE FOUND RIHANNA May 11, 2015

    Flop

    • Molly May 11, 2015

      We aren’t talking about American Oxygen here.

  22. Molly May 11, 2015

    Yall always trying to find fault in the Carter’s smh Rih, Keri, Nicki etc aren’t there so just stfu.

  23. Miss Jones May 11, 2015

    Damned if they do. Damned if they don’t.

  24. Blue Ivy Rodriguez May 11, 2015

    I hope more stars following their footsteps. That was such a horrifying story to hear, watch and talk about. I hope justice and reforms spread throughout the country

    • The Legend May 11, 2015

      Wow…im proud of you????????????

      • Blue Ivy Rodriguez May 11, 2015

        Yes Beyoncé and Jay have tried to express their anguish for many in the community however I do believe their silence was because of public opinion and they are in a tough spot because of their status. Doesn’t mean they do not want to help

    • TheElusiveLamb May 11, 2015

      This is why you’re my fav Baby Blue.

      • Blue Ivy Rodriguez May 11, 2015

        You’re my fav lamb! Girl I am anticipating Mariah’s concert!! She’s goin to slay that billboard stage

  25. ANTMO May 11, 2015

    So all that’s been happening in bmore, yall only post about it because beyonce there. I love Bey and that’s my hometown, yall at TGJ are ugh at times

  26. bria May 11, 2015

    Pr fail

    Somuch for trayvon while others were boycotting Florida they shot drunk in love the next week

    Whatever Carters, good for you but you still wont get access to my pocket

    • The Legend May 11, 2015

      And i don’t see them asking for the lint in your pockets. #HaveASeat

    • Tyler Makiveli May 11, 2015

      Funny how you still want to shade Beyonce and Jay after supporting a good cause, but defended Rihanna was doing with all of your might after she was put on blast for SNORTING COCAINE.
      B****, where tf were you or your Cokeheaded fave when all of that s*** was going on?
      You don’t participate enough to have a voice.
      Stop complaining and start being proactive rather than reactive!

  27. The Legend May 11, 2015

    That was so nice for them to do. They didnt have to visit nobody. This shows they care about issues like this. If more celebrities, especially the black celebrities got involved, change could come quicker. It such a shame these people cant visit these families, without someone thinking they’re up to no good. When they’re probably the one who wouldnt p*** on someone if they noticed someone on fire. If feel really sorry for some of you people. Lord help them.

  28. Stephy. May 11, 2015

    Very Nice. Both Jay & Bey looks nice. RIP Freddie.

  29. Hadley May 11, 2015

    Such a great thing to do. I respect these two. And they don’t have to call the press on it. No one would have known if the family hadnt posted these pictures.

  30. FutureCIARA May 11, 2015

    When will Iggy start supporting the black community?
    More artist in general need to start spreading awareness about the injustice involved with the killing of the young black males. Celebs need to start using their platforms more wisely. Even reality tv show stars, they are no where to be found. It’s so sad. Where are the voices?

    • OMG Logic!!! May 11, 2015

      Wah wah wah when will the Black community take responsibility for itself and start pushing their young males to get into education instead of into gangs, violence, and crime. Freddie Gray had a history of theft, home invasion, and physical abuse.

      • Hadley May 11, 2015

        There are many black males in education with successful careers. Just because only negative stories are in the press does not mean its not there. Stupid generalization.

      • Carry On May 11, 2015

        So, that’s all you have. Jay Z did the same thing. He just didn’t get caught. So, it makes it better since everything looks like money. Where was your group self when Jay Z was doing what black men do to get ahead with sexing women, hanging with gangs & doing violence instead of getting an education? HUH!! I’ll wait………………………………………………………………………………………………… All you can do is point your finger. In fact, you are pointing the fingers and not getting to the root of them problem. The problem is the black men don’t have their place in society. I’ve seen a new generation family trying to make it like us adults. They’re in their early 20’s; this guy needed a ride to an interview but it was a line around the corner with consistently of black men. Then after he had to take a drug test, background test, aptitude testing and orientation before he get his first check. Now, hence he needed a ride because police have a problem with black people walking hell as well as driving to even take care of a family. So, it’s easy to point the finger instead of the stepping up to this distraction. I guess you are doing fine. Jay Z must feel guilty enough to have to face this reality when it come to his fans when the tide has turned. Everyone wants this quick fix with money and want to accomplish things but complain at others who’s been preaching this from day one. As the real hate goes on, Jay Z ain’t going to teach the black community through your tidal in which this hater ish against each other won’t accomplish anything because people like you are just using him as an escape goat to shut people up. Failed@!

  31. OMG Logic!!! May 11, 2015

    The Camel and Thighyonce have no shame. What exactly is accomplished by them posing for photos with this family other than scoring brownie points with the Black community?

    • Hadley May 11, 2015

      They obviously would have made a donation idiot.

    • Tyler Makiveli May 11, 2015

      You don’t even care about the black community you f****** white supremacist. So save it!

  32. Hadley May 11, 2015

    Some people are so full of hate its disgusting.

  33. bria May 11, 2015

    Yeah thug life the very thing that these two have put in their music for what over a decade now

    They have.encouraged this lifestyle, provided a soundtrack, been all about $$$$ no character

    They have broken dreams, incarcerated and uneducated minds on their hands, even blood with the mess, i need a soldier, they have promoted

    Fawk them, see ‘jays’ new ceo sure isnt a brother or sister so miss me with black people must support them

    They have poisoned our culture and community, do u know how many idiots say, well they got mo.ey and they dont have a ged

    Dumb people draw dumb.conclusions and they have beem a part of the dumbing down of our community, they are the anti civil rights movement andmost of you lack the intelligence and the integrity to see this cause yall lub dem so much

    Gtfoh and go sign up for tidal

    • Tyler Makiveli May 11, 2015

      Tupac promoted “thug life” and he was very socially conscious. So what the f*** does that have to do with anything???
      You sound foolish.

  34. bria May 11, 2015

    We arent talking about Pac who.was socially conscious, .exactly, even when it wasnt popular

    He spoke on issues, initiating discussions not jumping on the bandwagon

    Doubt if pac would have tried to profit from mass movements,.occupied wall street tees

    Or kept affiliations with racial profiling retailers

    Or defend as whites use Ni))@

    Stop trying to deflect from your uneducated c*** gods

    Pac.was articulate fed homeless people, let them sleep in his mansion

    Your illiterate gods havr used their platform, unlike Pac who.raised unpopular socially conscious issues with his, to spew money, look at me im better than you
    Disrespect civil rights leaders and then bandwagon to clean up their image.and fool fools like you

    Dont even bring Pac into this, you insult him and show your foolishness, sat and go sign up for tidal

    • Tyler Makiveli May 11, 2015

      Wasn’t popular!?? B**** what the f*** are you talking about???
      When hasn’t racial profiling been a popular topic amongst people in the black community???
      It was actually more talked about by music artist back then. We had people like Pac, IceCube, Ice T, Public Enemy, and NWA speaking up for us. I don’t see nearly as many music artist speaking openly about their feelings towards politics or race now in comparison to back then. YOUR FAVE INCLUDED. I don’t see Rihanna trying to do ANYTHING productive. If anything her everyday life style promotes stereotypes or negative stigmas about black people….but I don’t see your dumb ass complaining about that.
      Any black person that can turn something this positive in regards to what’s going on in our community at this point in history, into something negative is an UNCLE TOM in my eyes #Do Better

      • Lolz May 11, 2015

        Just ignore the a seething Rihanna fan. It’s fave is no where in sight and only makes baseless comments on instagram because no one respects her morality. Beyonce and Jay Z are doing nothing but good here only jealous stans and haters would grasp at straws.

  35. Lolz May 11, 2015

    This is nice to see. I’m sure the family were very grateful. RIP to the young man.

  36. bria May 11, 2015

    Stay in denial this has nothing to do with rihanna

    Pac.als did not encourage idolatry or call himself after God

    Or have a rabid sick fanbase attacking black people

    I k no w they are your God and you have forfeited any analyticAl ability that God May have blessed you with, know nothinh of integrity and pedestalize these money and fame hungry pair who called Belafonte boy and said they can do more for the people than Martin, threw Tina T`s abuse in her face but mainly he didnr have a fanbase like you all creepy crew,,,their legacy is tainted and will forever be, future generations, if.there are any will be bafffled

    And if you are damned if you do and damned if you dont maybe that is the cue to leave the public alone, oh but alas they cant becausr they owe too much and are now basically groveling for black dollars

    • Krista May 11, 2015

      Babe please that grammar burned my eyes. You sound like an illiterate r*****. Before you criticze others get an education please!

      • Yeah I Said It May 11, 2015

        Lol. Is it speaking english?

  37. bria May 11, 2015

    I could go on but i won’t

    Like my first ccomment,good for them but still aint setting me up on no monthly billing cycle, lol

  38. bria May 11, 2015

    well I must ask what the f is up with this dragging culture that the J&B fanbases have brought to society, have harmed d society with i should ask

    Wack a** f, sick, anti intellectual

    Other fanbases have defended and nonfans just revolted against the madness

    Yall know up until recently if you did not like J or B you are a dark but broke hater jealous k but now black people They have been berating and looking down on black people are supposed to have all this love

    Love what? Why?

    No Gwyneth she sure had her there to introduce her when she was stomping all over Ledisi , fake all they support is themselves but its biting them in the a**, as we see the fleahive cant save them

  39. Yeah I Said It May 11, 2015

    I love how Beyonce and Jay Z are always subtle about what they do. Supporting the community you came from is never a bad thing. They are example (especially Jay) of how to grown and beat all odds you started with and still become successful and powerful role models. Lots of young black people look up to them and its good they are showing support in times like these.

  40. Yeah I Said It May 11, 2015

    Here is a Bible quote for certain morons on here:

    ‘Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.’

  41. bria May 11, 2015

    Yeah lets keep the bible out, telling the truth isnt judging

    See what it says about idol worshipping

    The jezebel spirit, greed, exalting anything above God

    We’re getting somewhere, Jesus was a carpenter and the bible encourages developing one’s gifts and talent

    Worshipping worldly things isnt a gift or talent nor is idolatry

    God also loves truth and it only irritates the devil noone has lied, it is what it is

    • Yeah I Said It May 11, 2015

      Oh so you know her spirit now? Are you Jesus? Keep going boo boo.

    • Lolz May 11, 2015

      What gift or talent of yours are you developing besides bashing Beyonce and Jay Z with your day? Hate blinds.

  42. Yeah I Said It May 11, 2015

    Didn’t mention any names but you assume its about you? Someones guilty….

  43. You wanna love it right bettor then my funky money May 12, 2015

    That was nice of Beyoncé & jay-z of them doing that
